On May 5, the movie "Nothing That Can't Be Solved by Hot Pot" was officially withdrawn, causing heated discussion. The producer of the
video stated, "Due to various environmental factors, the film did not meet more viewers. After carefully studying the current situation and in order to meet the needs of more viewers, our 'Hot Pot' will be withdrawn on May 6 I’ll see you again on another day.”
As soon as the news came out, netizens started talking a lot:
Some people said, “What’s wrong with the movies nowadays? They are withdrawn at every turn”; someone said bluntly, “I still remember how many movies were released during the Spring Festival. Movies that have been withdrawn will have no effect if they are released later. I guess this movie will have the same ending." Some netizens complained, "It should not be withdrawn, but should be sold. I went to see it. It was a waste of my movie." "
With all due respect, I don’t know when the current film industry started to have this trend of withdrawing films at every turn, which is really annoying.
looks back at several movies that were withdrawn and re-released before. Which one has done better at the box office after being rescheduled? Is it because no one is watching it? Do you really think that withdrawing it will make future audiences buy it?
Moreover, the reasons given for the film’s withdrawal are quite interesting, saying that it was withdrawn due to various environmental factors. The so-called environmental factor of
is probably the film scheduling problem during the May Day period. Indeed, " Peacekeeping Riot Squad ", which has the lowest reputation and failed rating, has always had a high film scheduling, which is really disgusting.
The producer of the movie "Nothing Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot" gave the reason for its withdrawal, which does seem a bit ironic.
But there is one thing to say. Kowloon Walled City starring Louis Koo, Jia Bing starring "Thelma and Louise " and other movies were not very high in the initial schedule, but the creators did not give up. , but while promoting vigorously and relying on their own strength, they managed to regain part of the film schedule, and some films even achieved box office counterattacks.
Therefore, the producer is unwilling to admit that there is a problem with the quality of the movie, and the "fight or run" withdrawal strategy is quite ridiculous.
Everyone knows that the competition for the May Day program will be relatively high. If there is competition, there will naturally be winners and losers. If you lose, there will definitely be pressure. But the problem is that the May Day program was almost over before it was withdrawn. This is very important to other films that have already been released. For films that have not yet been released, it is an act that disrupts the market, which is disgraceful and very disgraceful.
During the Spring Festival, several films had already done this. Didn’t the lessons taught by those films not be profound? Will movies be withdrawn in the future as long as their box office performance is not satisfactory?
This is damaging to the film market and unfair to other films and must be resisted.
It is reported that "Nothing That Can't Be Solved by a Hot Pot" is a suspense comedy film directed by Ding Sheng and starring Yang Mi, Yu Qian, Tian Yu, Yu Ailei, Li Jiuxiao and others.
The film will be released on May 1, 2024. As of 16:00 on May 5, the total box office in the five days of release was 52.62 million.
The three films released on the same day as "Thelma and Louise", "The Siege of Kowloon Walled City" and "Peace Keepers" all had box office sales of over 300 million.
It is worth mentioning that Ding Sheng, the director of "Nothing Can't Be Solved by Hot Pot", choked up during a live broadcast recently, his eyes were red, and he was silent. Netizens speculated whether he was because the box office of the movie was so low that it was difficult to make back the money. Feeling stressed?
